Madness - One Better Day Lyrics
Arlington houseAddress no fixed abodeAn old man in a three-piece suiteSits in the roadHe stares across the waterAnd sees right through the lockBut on and up like outstretched handsHis mumbled words, his fumbled wordsFurther down theres a photo boothA million plastic bagsAnd an old woman filling outA million baggage tagsBut when she get thrown outThree bags at a timeShe spies the old chap in the roadTo share her bags with, she has bags of timeSurrounded by his pastOn a short white lineHe sits while cars passEither sideTakes his timeTrying to rememberOne better dayA while ago when people stoppedTo hear him sayWalking round you sometimesHear the sunshineBeating down in time with theRhythm of your shoesNow she has walkedEnough through rainy townShe rests her back against hisAnd sits downShes trying to rememberOne better dayAwhile ago when people stoppedTo hear her sayWalking round you sometimesHear the sunshineBeating down in time with theRhythm of your shoesWalking round you sometimesHear the sunshineBeating down in time with theRhythm of your shoesThe feeling of arrivingWhen youve nothing left to lose
